Soreness is a very poor indicator of whether or not you experienced a good or bad workout. An good workout doesn't necessarily lead to soreness. The effectiveness of a workout depends on what type of workout is imposed on tissue that is at a certain level of conditioning (resistant to damage). What I mean is that if your muscles are somewhat deconditioned, your soreness will be greater. I rarely feel any significant DOMS, just slightly. It goes away fast. Maybe you pushed alot harder than usual, or you didn't have very good postworkout nutrition. Either way, you'll be fine. If you did the exact same workout next week, you'll probably experience alot less soreness due to your muscles being better conditioned to what you're doing. In short, view it as a good thing...
